Nemcs, the constable of Remove, stop
ped in town on Monday evening. They
are on the track of the tramp who is
supposed 10 be the murderer of the Cul-
10y couple. The fellow is described to
be II bur Unlocking chap, with SANDY
side W hlSkeIs, of II reddish cast, aud
wears Il Slouch hat down over his eyes.
Mr.. Wcsthrook, for more than an hour
entertained Il crowd of attentive listen
erS 10y relating some of the particulars
connected with the murder case and IL
mong other interesting things told of
the strange dream of Commissioner
Grugan. who has become Famous rs II
prophetic dreamer. His account of it
agrees almost to the letter with the fol-
lowing from the Ddiig Democrat OF
Lock Haven
ION the night 0f Thursday, the ith i'm
Stant, aS Mr.. Grugln lay Oh his bed asleep,
hc had vision, and Ia that vision hc saw II
lonely spot, apparently in the wilderness,
with something like a huuSe or shed, but
which seemed Ia him more like boards
standing on end leaning against trees with
a small corn crib attached. Then lac saw a
murder committed near Il creek, one person
doing the bloody work, but apparently with
"A knife. Two other persons in dark clothes
gliicl in upon the scene hut they did not
seem 10 have any connection with the mur
der, were going away from the place. Then
in his dream hc saw the murderer in noth-
cr dark ana remote spot build a fire and
burn some clothes, at the same time secret
ing something that looked 10 him like IA
crowhar and a sa,chol, puttiug thom in Il
tlacl,ct beneath some underbrush, Then
he saw the individual leave the thickct and
cross a creek where he washed the blood
from his person, NJ the same time making a
a mark where hc crossed the creek. The
last seen OF the man in the dream he was
going south, and finally disappeared in
tho woods.
''Now il must hr remembered that Mr..
Grugau dreamed this on Thursday night
the ith instant, two or perhaps three days
before the Culvey murder was committed,
and il made such an impression on his
mind that he made a draft of the locality.
Then he told the dream u his associates nj
the Court House and showed his draft. OF

great deal OF fun at his expense. AT the
time OF the dream Mr.. Grngan ala not
know whether the spot he dreamed of was
IN existence or not. Now Tor the sequel.

A SPECIMEN or MALICIOUS MIS-
CHIEF One morning last week some
one adopted very questionable meth
cd Of haying sport, and one which
might involve serious consequences.
AT place on the Buffalo Run railroad
near curve, they placed the figure of
a man upon the track, his hat Oh his
head and his head resting on one arm.
When Jerry Nolan, the engineer, saw
the figure on the track bis heart leaped
up into his mouth. The fast-moying
locomotive was almost on the PROSTATE
figure. Quickly, he reversed the en-
gine, the stop being SO sudden that the
passengers were disagreeably shaken.
He went forward to rescue the drunken
man or would-be suicide from the rail
and found it only stuffed figure T.

Away back in the sixties l wes flnan.
cially Interested in two or three Texas
enterprises with man named George
Sloane. That was his right name, out in
many localities in Texas he was known
only as Nervy George. L have seen g
grest many statements concerning his ad-
ventures in print, but all more Or less
exaggerated. Some OF the adventures
which came about while We were in com
pany will now give to the press for the
first time.
Sloane YVES ~ Ohio boy, ana l made his
acquaintance ard chummed with him in
the Audersonville prison pen. We went
west together sitter the war, and At that
time he was only twenty-seven years old.
He was five feet seven inches high,
weighed 100 pounds, and was the strong
est man | ever saw outside OF q profess
sionsl wrestler or caaDon-ball tosser. His
flesh was SO hard that he could crack q
walnut on his leg. On two or three
occasions l knew him TO break the bones
in mans hand by 6 single grip. H.
took nc training OF any sort, but the
strength and ruggedness were born to
him. As if not satisfied with making him
q young Hercules, nature gave him the
most wonderful nerve and courage He
once told me that be would give 800 TO
realize for five minutes whist fear ives. I
sew him in some of the hottest places a
msn could get into, and never saw him
falter OF hesitate o. make mistake in
doing Just the right thing.
Ole afternoon, after we had finished up
some business in Dallas and were ready
to go, We entered q saloon for parting
nip. l. was full Of gamblers, COW boys
and rough characters generally, and every
man Wore revolver in plain sight. We
were slipping our drink when big burly
rutfian, who wss fighter from way back,
Intentionally fell against Sloane with
considerable force, and then stood
OF and leered 81 him and said:
W Iii waiting fur We to ex my psrding

Sloane never carried weapon of any
sort when IN g town. He looked the big
fellow over in a cool and quiet way, and
finally said:
"Did you intend to insult me, sir?"
"1nsult ye!" echoed the other. "Who
talks OF insults? Why, ye little game
cock from somebody's barnyard, I'A give
We two minutes to get down On your

By this time everybody in the saloon

himself he would have retired from the

boy WAS pulled eff his horse and being
literally mopped all over the road. He
tried to use weapon, but was disarmed
with scarcely an effort. and whe nGeorge

The fight did not last three minutes and

Coming Reunion.
Very truly yours,
J. p. Woop,

Those who attend the big reunion
next month will not 60 hungry one
minute during theft stay in Mexico.
At meeting of the local arrange
ment committee last Saturday re-
ports of money, cattle, hogs and sheep
donations were received. Already,
and the event is month off,
dozen hogs, the same number Of cat
tie and half hundred sheep have
been subscribed. All the townships
have been liberal in their money con-
tributions, and much more soliciting
remains to be done.
Besides the cattle, sheep and hogs,
hundreds of chickens and other fowls
have been subscribed, and innumer"
able baskets OF provisions which will
be left with Mr.. jackson, on the
East side, who will provide proper
storage for them.
The local committees are elated
over the prospects, and confidently
predict the biggest and most enjoy
able reunion in the history OF the
association.
Among the many liberal contribu-
tions, c. G. Daniel, of Vandalia, re.
ports by telegram this afternoon $3.50

The suspicion, well or i'll founded,

THERE are more than score of
''patients" at the Poor Farm, most
of them being helpless women and
children. This institution has been
under the supervision of A. II. Can
terbury and wife for ten years and it
would be impossible to replace them.
We made personal visit TO the farm,
found that it is really wonderful how
economically the poor of this county
are maintained, and at the same time
kept comfortable. We found every
thing was done systematically and in
order, the inmates heing kept clean
and neat and enjoy good health and
the Poor Farm is made most pleas

THE LOCAL OPTION LAW.
How 1t Is Construed by Hon. j. r.
Wood, Author OF the Bill.

New LONDON, Mo-, July 20, 1887.
Hon. j. w. Alexander :--D Doar Sir:
Replying to yours of the 18th inst,
will say that in my opinion the local
option law, when adopted by county
or city, repeals the pharmacy law, 30
far as it relates to the sale of all in
toxicating liquors, except wine for
sacramental purposes or pure alcohol
for medicinal art, scientific or me-
chanical purposes.
The local option law is in no sense
a grant of any right or privilege to
any vendor of intoxicating liquors / !.
on the contrary, its every position ia
to restrain under severe penalties the
sale Of any kind Of intoxicating liquors
except those noted above. Under
this law the druggist can have no
additional rights; any sale made by
HIM must be under all the require
ments of the pharmacy law; every
right he had under the pharmacy law,
except the right to "sell wine for
sacramental purposes or pure alcohol
for medicinal art, scientific or me-
chanical purposes" is taken from him
by the local option law. The right
that the druggist had under the phar-
macy law to sell pure alcohol when
prescribed by physician is not in
terfered with by the local option law,
but the right he previously enjoyed
under the pharmacy law, to sell any
other intoxicating liquor, such as
whisky, brandy, ale, beer, Rocky
Mountain Bitters, etc., ETC., is taken
from him by the local option law. In
other words, if your county should
adopt the local option law, my judg-
ment is the only kind of Intoxicating
liquor that may be sold by any per-
son, under any circumstances what
ever, or for any purpose whatever,
is the exceptions contained in section
8 of the local option law, to wit:
Wine for sacramental purposes or
pure alcohol for medicinal art, scien-
titic or mechanical purposes" Such
was certainly the understanding in
the senate when the provisions OF
this bill were under discussion, and
such was my understanding as its
author. The physician cannot pres
cribe whisky, wine, gin, ETC., for his
patients, nor can the druggist ill such
prescriptions il made by the physi-
clan. The only remedy under the
local option law for "snake bites" is
pure alcohol.
Very truly yours,
j. p. Woop.
